Meh. I had a bash job for 6 years. I couldn't forget it if I wanted to. I imagine most people don't use it enough for it to stick. You get good enough at it, and there's no need to reach for python.

It seems like it does stuff differently for the sake of it being different.

Incredibly true for me these days. But don't fret, shellcheck and tldp.org is all you need. And maybe that one stackoverflow answer about how to get the running script's directory

The sad thing is that even chatgpt can't program in bash. I just want a simple script and every single time it just doesn't work. I always just end up saying "write this in python instead".

The older you get, the more things are like programming in bash.
